Ingredients
Scale
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup sweet yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup mushrooms, finely diced (i used baby bella mushrooms)
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 block (16 ounces) extra/super firm tofu, pre-pressed or well pressed yourself
- 1/3 cup unsweetened plant milk (i used oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kala namak (black salt)
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- green onion, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin, or use silicone molds or cups.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and toss in spinach, cooking just until wilted.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the tofu, oat milk, nutritional yeast, baking powder, garlic powder, kala namak, pepper, and turmeric. Blend until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the sautéed vegetables until evenly mixed.
- Spoon the mixture into your muffin tin, filling each cavity nearly full, as they will rise slightly while baking.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until tops are set and centers aren't overly jiggly. They will firm up as they cool.
- Let the egg bites cool for 10–15 minutes before removing from the pan to maintain their shape. Sprinkle with kala namak for extra flavor and garnish with green onion, if desired.
Notes
For firmer bites, press the tofu to remove excess moisture before blending.
These egg bites are perfect for meal prep – simply store in the fridge and reheat when needed!
